Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

America didn't get this way without help.
Rupert Murdoch is Australian.
Elon Musk is South African.
Sundar Pichai is from India.
Donald trump is a Russian asset.
AIPAC shovels millions to politicians throughout the country.
Anyone can come to America and become an American. This has been the case for decades and it's more true than for any other country. A bunch of sociopaths who got rich came here from all over. They've been poisoning the wells of public discourse in ways that are not unique to America.
Brexit happened. Marine LePen nearly won in France. The AfD is still a rising power in Germany. Alberta's secessionist movement has ties outside of Canada, but the people in the movement are home grown Canadians. Erdogan in Turkey, Modi in India, Abelardo Esperilla in Colombia... The list goes on.
There is a surge of cancerous right wing ideologies infecting our whole world with no exceptions. Technology has brought us together and exposed us all to the worst people any of our societies can create.
If we can't save each other, we can't save ourselves.
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
